Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. e, 1914.

Application filed April 16, 1913. Serial No. 781,607.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, Samrson flnnsu, a citizen ofthe-U'nited States, residing at San Francisco, in the. county of San Francisco and State of California, have invented a new which the following isa specification in such full and clear terms as will enable those skilled in the art to con- This invention relates to a pocket atomizer, the object of which is to enable the user to spray determinate quantities of the liquid into the nose or. eyes whenever neces sary.

Another object of the: invention is to simplify the construction of the atomizer to. such an extent as toeliminate all unneces-' sary parts, especially dispensing with valves. Another object of the invention is tomake an atomizer of a convenient shape for the pocket. r

Another object of the invention is to make an atomizer which will easily measure the dosage, and which can be used to spread the nostril thus making it more efi'ective.

Another object 0* the invention is to make an atomizer which is of such shape as to easily stand alone and which will be provided with means to retain itin the pocket.

Other objects of the invention will appea 'as the description proceeds I am' aware that there are many modifications of this inventiom'b'ut one oifthe embodiments'ther'eof is shownin'the drawings in which the same reference numeiial is applied to the same portion througho t,

Figure 1 is a plan yiew of the tomi zer, Fig. 2 is a plan view in section, Fi 3 1s a central vertical sectional view ther of, Iiig.

4 is a side view of the sprayer, Fig. 5 1s a lan view in section ofa slightly modified orm of capillary supply tube, and Fig. 6 is a vertical sectional view of the modified spray tube having a larger number of the capillary tubes. I

The numeral 1 is applied to the receptacle in which the liquid is placed, said receptacle having grooves formed therein at 2 and 3 to hold rubber rings 4 and 5 in place. The ring 4 is-made stifienough to hold the receptacle upright on a flat. surface and the 10 must be small enou therefrom in 'a fine spray.

ring 5 prevents the receptacle from falling out of the pocket. The rece tacle for the liquid is closed by means of t e stopper 6, which stopper has its upper portion 7 formed into a bulb. The stopperis made of a grade of rubber solid enough to hold the tube 8 firmlyin place when inserted therein, and saidtube carries a cone shaped head 9 which has a series of capillary tubes or passageways 10 formed therein. There may be suchfia number of these openings as is deemednecessary to supply the required dosage. It will be noted that in order to operate as intended the tubes h to retain the liquid even when turned upsi e down as a capillary tubedoes.-

lFigs. 5 and 6 illustrate a modified form of tlle invention in which the conical head is re placed by small glass tubes.

flhe numeral 12 indicates the central tube to which the bulb is connectedZ wThis central tribe has four capillary tubes 13 connected therewith, said tubes terminating adjacent t e end of the tube 12, whereby anyliquid contained in the tubes 13 will be discharged It will be observed that tubes necessary to hold the requi-redidosage may be more or less in number, that the head necessary to carry, said tubes is of an advantageous shape spreadthe nostril in using the atomizer, while if the atomizer is used for spraying the eye the shape of the head is Iiot' a disadvantage. v

' Having thus described my invention what I claim asnew and desire to secdre by Let ters Patent of the-United States, is as follows, modifications within the scope of the claims being expressly reserved p r 1. In an atomizer, a tube, a bulb carried on one end of said tube, and a conical atom:
